In this poignant drama, the owner of a guesthouse on a small Caribbean island confronts her family's painful past. An impending hurricane compels Mama Aida and her guests to take shelter in an old plantation building. There she encounters the spirits of her slave ancestors who were brutally tortured and murdered after leading an unsuccessful slave rebellion.

My new full-length play, The Growing Stone, is scheduled for two readings in the coming weeks that I hope will advance its development. The play -- a dark-secret family drama set in Vermont -- was one of five plays selected for a rehearsed staged reading at the Detroit New Works Festival on April 27 and 28, organized by Outvisible Theatre in Detroit, MI.

2018 has gotten off to an encouraging start. My new short play, Notice, will premiere at the New Voices Festival of Greenbrier Valley Theatre, the state theater of West Virginia at Lewisburg, WV, in February.
